Here's a popular way to serve Kellogg’s Bran—greatest health food!

Most, every one who realizes how effective Kellogg’s Bran is for the permanent relief of constipation has thou own particular way of serving this wonderful cereal.

SPRAY OUTFIT PROVESWORTH Monroe Township Farmers Giving Orchard Much Needed Attention It has taken a remarkably short time to prove to the Monroe Township Farmers who purchased a power spray outfit this spring that it is the real way to arrange for tile spraying of their orchards. When approached recently and asked concerning tile success of the outfit, one of the members of the ring stated it was giving excellent service’ and was enabling them to get the work done quickly and with less expense. One man is employed to spray orchards for Gie entire ring and in addition is doing some outside work for neighbors. This makes it valuable for the orchard owners in that no loss of time is entailed in leaving other farm work to spray the orchard. This feature is very valuable during the fruit sprays which must be applied when oilier farm work is very pressing. "The outfit showed its value especially during the first fruit soray this spring.” stated the farmer who was interviewed. “Since the spring was very backward and the warm weather came suddenly there were only aliout three days fit for the application of the spray.” he explained, con tinuing, “It would have been Impossible to spray all the orchards of the members of the ring in that time, with the outfits we have been usinng. but as it was, the man who runs the outfit sprayed several orchards besides those in the ring, while the members went ahead with their regular work.” The farmers purchased the outfit as the result of agricultural extension work carried out in connection with county agent work. C. L. Burkholder, orchard specialist from Purdue, helped the men select the machine and equipment and his directions are followed in applying the sprays. • —— Mother’s Day Observed Appropriately at Monroe Monroe, Ind., May 15 (Special to Daily Democrat)—Mothers’ Day was observed Sunday in Monroe, special services being held at the M. E. church conducted by Rev. S. J. Zechiel. pastor. A large crowd attended the morning serveices, and Rev. Zechiel delivered an excellent sermon or Mothers' Day.

In the evening Mothers’ Day exercises were held under the direction of Mr. J. E. Nelson. Sunday school superin tendent, consisting of music l>y the orchestra and vocal music, addresses delivered by C. W. Merryman, Rollin Longerberger, J. E. Nelson, Fred Busche, on “Mother.” They were very interesting. The program was an excellent one and well rendered. The Mothers’ Day observance is be coming more and more popular every year, and is a day looked forward to by the people as one of the most sacred days of the year, which is held in honor and memory of the living and departed mother, and is a day set apart in which every person should reverence and commemorate as a to ken ■ f love and respect. o - Portland Concern Placed in Hands of a Receiver (United Press Service) Indianapolis, May 15 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Meley C.
